I think the Costco and whatever else they are starting to build is not helping with the flooding around there. The area where costco is now was low lying and able to fill up when the river would rise. Now the water has no where to go and the little bit of water diversion they put in is not helping as it should. Of course it doesn't help that this crest (whatever it ends up at) will go down in the top 10 (stands at 7 now) historic crest and the river has only been higher 3 times in recent history.
@Maisey1: Yep - dumbest thing ever building the Costco where it is and like they did. I guarantee that will contribute to more flooding. Also, they are building NEIGHBORHOODS behind the Costco, in areas that were consistently swamps / river overflow! Just think about the poor schmucks that end up buying homes back there.Â
